Ravannack Off The Mat
I chose to attend Oklahoma State because: Of the education and the outstanding wrestling program.
If I would describe myself as a wrestler, I would say: I'm technical.
If I were to describe myself as a person, I would say: I'm nice, outgoing and fun.
I would describe John Smith: As being remarkable and a legend.
My favorite thing about being in Stillwater is: Having my team always close by.
My favorite thing about being a wrestler at Oklahoma State is: The brotherly relationships.
If I was talking to someone who didn't know about wrestling and they asked me about the Oklahoma State wrestling program, I would say: That we've won 34 of the 48 national championships in school history.
I have been told that I look like: My mom.
If I could compete in any other sport besides wrestling, it would be: Salsa dancing.
If I could trade places with anyone in the world for a day, it would be: Coach Smith, because maybe then I could run and work out with him.
The thing that inspires me when I compete is: My friends that I've made through wrestling who have passed away.
The proudest moment of my life so far was: Winning outstanding wrestler at my uncle's tournament.
When I'm not wrestling or in school, I enjoy: Relaxing, going to the lake and seeing my family.
